In 1995 I was able to spend some time going through his master prints, which can really get your motivation going. From what I have seen inkjet negatives should work also. I have a good friend here whose printing is exclusively pt/pd from LF negs, and he has a really state of the art darkroom. I've committed to producing some inkjet negs from scanned LF negs and digital files, so we can evaluate the process more fully. http://www.tommillea.com/gallery/platinum.html Also, Bostick & Sullivan in New Mexico is a great resource. www.bostick-sullivan.com Ken On 4/19/2014 5:33 PM, Charlie Chan wrote: > Ken, > > thanks. maybe I'll just drink Guinness instead when printing - can't > really mix it up! > > Best wishes, > > Charlie > > Charlie Chan > www.yourbreast.co.uk > www.charlie-chan.co.uk > > > > On 19 Apr 2014, at 23:15, Ken Carney wrote: > >> It is a lot of fun.
